At Thackley Primary School, we use Rhino Readers as our initial reading books, carefully chosen to align closely with our Twinkl Phonics programme. This strong alignment ensures that pupils can practise and consolidate the specific sounds and phonics skills taught in class, which is essential for building both confidence and reading fluency.
Rhino Readers are thoughtfully designed to be engaging and accessible, featuring stories and characters that resonate with children’s experiences. This purposeful design supports a positive reading environment, motivating pupils to read regularly and increasingly independently.
By using Rhino Readers, we provide a consistent, structured approach to early reading that supports all pupils in developing their decoding and comprehension skills effectively. Most importantly, this approach helps foster a genuine enjoyment and love of reading, laying a strong foundation for lifelong literacy.
